Product Description
The GLS85LP1001P Industrial Grade PATANANDrive™ device (referred to as “PATA NANDrive”
in this factsheet) is a fully-integrated, embedded solidstate drive (SSD). It combines an integrated ATAcontroller and 1 GByte of NAND flash memory in a
multi-chip package. This product is ideal for
embedded and portable applications that require
smaller form factor and more reliable data storage.

The integrated NAND flash controller with built-in
advanced
NAND
management
firmwarecommunicates with the host through the standard ATA
protocol. It does not require any additional or
proprietary software such as the Flash File System(FFS) and Memory Technology Driver (MTD).
PATA NANDrive provides a WP#/PD# pin to protect
critical information stored in the flash media fromunauthorized overwrites. PATA NANDrive is preprogrammed with a 10-Byte unique serial ID and has
the option of programming an additional 10-Byte serial
ID for even greater system security.

ATA-based solid state mass storage technology is
widely used in GPS and telematics, in-vehicle
infotainment, portable and industrial computers,
handheld data collection scanners, point-of-saleterminals, networking and telecommunications
equipment, robotics, audio and video recorders,monitoring devices and set-top boxes.

PATA NANDrive’s advanced NAND management
technology enhances data security, improves
endurance and accurately predicts the remaining
lifespan of the NAND flash devices. This innovativetechnology combines robust error correction
capabilities with advanced wear-leveling algorithms
and bad block management to significantly extend thelife of the product.

PATA NANDrive supports standard ATA/IDE protocol
1)2)with up to PIO Mode-6 , Multi-Word DMA Mode-4
and Ultra DMA Mode-6 interface. PATA NANDrive
provides complete IDE hard disk drive functionality
and compatibility in a 12mm x 24mm BGA package
for easy, space-saving mounting to a system
motherboard. This product surpasses traditional
storage in its small size, security, reliability,
ruggedness and low power consumption.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Each PATA NANDrive contains an integrated PATA NAND flash memory controller and NAND flash die in a BGA
package. Refer to Figure 2-1 for the PATA NANDrive block diagram.

1.1

1.1.5 Error Correction Code (ECC)High performance is achieved through optimized
hardware error detection and correction.

Optimized PATA NANDrive

The heart of PATA NANDrive is the PATA NAND flash
memory controller, which translates standard PATA
signals into flash media data and control signals. The
following components contribute to PATA NANDrive’soperation.

1.1.6 Serial Communication Interface (SCI)The Serial Communication Interface (SCI) is designed
for manufacturing error reporting. During the productdevelopment stage, it is recommended to provide theSCI port on the PCB to aid in design validation.

1.1.1 Microcontroller Unit (MCU)
The MCU transfers the ATA/IDE commands into dataand control signals required for flash media operation.

1.1.7 Multi-tasking Interface
The multi-tasking interface enables fast, sustained
write performance by allowing concurrent Read,
Program and Erase operations to multiple flash media.

1.1.2 Internal Direct Memory Access (DMA)
PATA NANDrive uses internal DMA allowing instantdata transfer from/to buffer to/from flash media. This
implementation eliminates microcontroller overhead
associated with the traditional, firmware-based
approach, thereby increasing the data transfer rate.

1.2

SMT Reflow Consideration

The PATA NANDrive family utilizes standard NAND
flash for data storage. Because the high temperature
in a surface-mount soldering reflow process can alter
the content on NAND flash, do not program PATA
NANDrive before the reflow process.

1.1.3 Power Management Unit (PMU)
The PMU controls the power consumption of PATA
NANDrive. The PMU dramatically reduces the power
consumption of PATA NANDrive by putting the part ofthe circuitry that is not in operation into sleep mode.

1.3

The Flash File System handles inadvertent powerinterrupts and has auto-recovery capability to ensure
PATA NANDrive’s data integrity. For regular power
management,
thehostmustsendanIDLE_IMMEDIATE
command(E0h),
IDLE_IMMEDIATE (E1h), STANDBY (E2h) or IDLE
(E3h) and wait for command ready before powering
down PATA NANDrive.

Advanced NAND Management

PATA NANDrive’s integrated controller uses
advanced wear-leveling algorithms to substantially
increase the longevity of NAND flash media. Wearcaused by data writes is evenly distributed in all orselect blocks in the device that prevents “hot spots” inlocations that are programmed and erased extensively.
This effective wear-leveling technique results in
optimized device endurance, enhanced data retention
and higher reliability required by long-life applications.

1.1.4 Embedded Flash File System
The embedded flash file system is an integral part of
PATA NANDrive. It contains MCU firmware that
performs the following tasks:
1. Translates host side signals into flash media
writes and reads
2. Provides flash media wear leveling to spreadthe flash writes across all memory address
space to increase the longevity of flash media
3. Keeps track of data file structures
4. Manages system security for the selected
protection zones
5. Stores the data in flash media upon completionof a Write command (PATA NANDrive does not
perform Post-Write operations, except for when
the write cache is enabled)
